Current docs don’t clearly explain how swapLeftAndRightInRTL interacts with:
• marginLeft / marginRight
• paddingLeft / paddingRight
• Absolute positioning (left / right)
This leads to confusion, because developers may expect left / right to flip automatically, which it does not.

Also it's not clear what the default state of swapLeftAndRightInRTL is. This PR gives explaination on this behaviour.

Swap left and right style properties in RTL mode. When enabled, left becomes right and right becomes left in RTL layouts. Does not affect the value of `isRTL`.
